we have a free trade zone with canada and mexico. it is going to work for all of us if we have free trade zones with other countries as well. that is not to say that there will not be problems. there will be dislocations as adjustments are made, but over the long run, it is going to make us richer in the united states and people richer all over the world. people trying to make a living in other countries, i think it is good that they get out of poverty as well. the final point i would make is if we start this trade war and decide that we are not going to take products from other countries, we are going to massively and not only to lose jobs from exports closed off but prices will soar in the united states. it will be hard to secure these other products that are made overseas and we will see sharply higher prices. host: i want to tell you about our guest as we wrap up our time with him. prior to his position as the executive director of the club for growth, he was a senior executive in washington director. he served on the national co

[laughter] >> that was once known as canada. could you mulcaire these same people affect the development of the international borders? >> that border actually was described in the treaty ending the revolution which makes sense to what describe what is the country that we are becoming and recognizing? but then once they said no, you misunderstood our wording, the ds, me beano, but after the war of 1812, the lalinde and at times violent dispute between the united states and i will say canada. it's really england, but that's the country in control. ultimately it was negotiated by daniel webster who was the secretary of state at that point and they came up with a line in the treaty known as the webster treaty. i won't go to the answer now but it's fascinating about the treaty you'd probably think the said down opposite and they chatted and they knew each other before. webster is negotiating with maine and was a courtroom lawyer and a fabulous magician in the courtroom and he had a brilliant strategy to force me in a step by step by

it's almost like saying that we will save trillions of dollars by promising not to invade canada. it's never going to happen. i can't support any plan that begins with the assumption that we have to raise the debt limit and yet doesn't offer a fundamental restructuring of government spending habits. i won't do it. and while i embrace the principles of cut, cap and balance, the bill simply did not go far enough to fundamentally restructure the way that this city stands the american people's money. and it allowed for an increase in the debt limit, something i simply won't do. i also believe that we must repeal and defund obamnicare as part of any solution to our current debt crisis. by? because obamacare is the largest spending and entitlement program ever passed in our nation's history. and it is widely unpopular with people all across the country. just ask, hop on my bus, you'll see what the american people are saying. the president promised the average american household would save $2500 per year in health insurance premiums. he also said the federal government would save money a
